Fraternities and sororities are prevalent on campus but you don't have to rush if you don't want. They don't run the school or anything. You can definitely go through Samford without Greek life. People party but you have to find them. It's not an open thing nor do most people party. Lots of people go out of town, movies, dinner, and just hang out. We're a pretty chill group but we study a lot. People study on the weekends often. There are also those who go hiking, camping, rock climbing, and what not. There are a lot of opportunities around Birmingham that you can get plugged into. Most people keep their doors locked if they're not there. I wouldn't suggest just leaving everything open to all. Theater and guest speakers are very popular as are concerts. Workplay is in Birmingham and we go there all the time for concerts. I go to coffee shops with people and talk a ton. Like I said, we're very relational. However, the girl to guy ratio is 3 to 1 so there aren't many guys which gets frustrating. A lot of them are kind of pansies anyway. If I'm awake on a Tuesday at 2am it's because I'm studying. I met all of my best friends on my hall freshman year. We have deferred rush and so I lived in the Freshman dorm and we all met and have been friends ever since. You also don't have to live in the sorority houses which is nice. People tend to be morning people. Yes we sleep in, but it's definitely more of a get up and get the day started kind of school rather than a late night party hard school.

I can say that Samford Social life is not as wild as other unversities from what I hear. Their are alot of opportunites to have good clean wholesome fun.

The most popular groups are sororities and frats. I am involved in varsity vollleyball so I mainly hang out with athletes. People in dorms leave them unlocked a lot, its very safe. There is barely any support at athletic events.
A lot of people here don't party..but a lot of people that say they don't party really do. Tons of fake people here. There is no one outside on campus at 2 in the morning unless they are leaving the library.

Weak greek systems dominates, independents are small segregated groups. Most disturbing aspect.
